Onur Asan

Dr. Onur Asan completed his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison, specializing in human factors and human-computer interaction. Dr. Asan's research focuses on application of theory, methods and design from the discipline of human factors engineering and human computer interaction to improve socio-technical change in health care. In particular, Dr. Asan has been studying how new technologies, and organizational initiatives transform a) ambulatory and hospital work systems, b) patient centred care/communication, c) care coordination and workflow, and d) outcomes including patient safety, trust, quality of care and employee well-being. Dr. Asan also works on development and testing of user/patient centred health technologies to improve user experience of care.
Dr. Asan’s work has been funded by federal and private institutions including National Health Institute (NIH), Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ), Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), and Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI).
